Tiexian heirs in the city

Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan looked at each other, surprised that Gu Zheng heard their conversation just now, but still nodded together.

This can be regarded as an unexpected harvest, although it is not sure, but at least it is a source of information, it is even more delicious than the small shop just now, Gu Zheng already wants to try it.

In fact, the taste of the small shop just now is not particularly bad, but the ingredients limit their taste. Without good ingredients, it is not easy to become the best of the same kind. Although this kind of snacks are not like those century-old brands, there are no ordinary grades. The ingredients are difficult to surpass, but at least they must be inferior.

Ordinary-level ingredients are hard to find, but inferior ingredients can still be found. In the past, there were more than one inferior ingredients in the snack festival. In the last Hangzhou food competition, there were many inferior ingredients.

This shows that the use of low-grade ingredients is still very widespread. In the first test of Gu Zheng, all ingredients were required to be above the low-grade, and he completed it differently.

Gu Zheng had a smile on his face, and he had to try if he had any clues. There was no penalty for this test, but there was also a time limit. Failure to complete it within the time limit was also a failure of the test.

And no matter what, it is worth Gu Zheng's trip to be able to make noodles and flat food that is even more delicious than the snack bar just now.

"Then can you please tell me where is the exact location of this Lejia snack?

Hearing this, Zhao Pingchuan's eyes lit up.

Qisong County is on the east side of the ring city, and Zeqiu County is on the west side of the ring city. If Gu Zheng wanted to go to Qisong County, he had to go through the ring city. In Song County, it was already midnight.

It is a good time to take this opportunity to invite Gu Zheng to their house as a guest. It has to be said that after watching Gu Zheng's live broadcast at the Hangzhou Food Competition, brothers Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan couldn't stop thinking about Gu Zheng's delicacies.

Whether it's the extremely fragrant chicken blood soup, or the incredible golden dragon flying egg fried rice, just thinking about it makes me feel hungry.

Of course, Zhao Pingchuan didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. He quickly nodded at Gu Zheng and said, "Of course, my hometown is Qisong County, and I know it very well. lead the way."

"Don't worry about it. I have a car, so I can go there by myself."

Gu Zheng thought about it for a while, and felt that this would disturb them, so he didn't agree.

"No trouble, no trouble. We also came here by car, and we happened to be going back to Huancheng, so we were on the way. Besides, Qisong County is a small place, and the location of Lejia snacks is also very remote. Most people can't find it even if they go there. where."

Zhao Pingchuan said another sentence, and at the same time kept winking at his younger brother, asking him to follow suit to persuade Gu Zheng.

Zhao Pingshan noticed the look in his brother's eyes, and then came back to his senses, understood his brother's intentions, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Master Gu Zheng, what my brother said is right, if you go alone, you will be old if you just look for it." For a long time, why not take us with you, and save you from going the wrong way."

Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment, and what their brothers said was right, but they had just rejected their invitation before, and now they are asked to lead the way, Gu Zheng is also a little embarrassed.

Seeing Gu Zheng's hesitation, Zhao Pingchuan didn't care at all, and then urged: "Master Gu Zheng, you don't know that Lejia snacks are also very authentic in addition to noodles and noodles, but we Even if you know it’s delicious but don’t know where to eat it, you can take us with you so that you can give us a review of the delicious food of Lejia Snacks, which can be regarded as an increase in our knowledge.”

Seeing the sincerity of what the two brothers said, Gu Zheng no longer refused, went back and settled the money with the driver of the chartered car, and then followed Zhao Pingchuan brothers to the place where they parked.

Even though their clothes are quite ordinary, the car they drive is really not cheap. It is a silver-white Jaguar JX, which costs at least seven or eight hundred thousand in China, which can be regarded as a luxury car.

On the way to Huancheng, Gu Zheng learned that the two brothers jointly opened a car dealership, and the main agent was Jaguar cars. It can be said that all Jaguar cars in Huancheng were bought from their 4S shop. .

Because the car dealership is now managed by a professional manager, the two of them have a lot of spare time, and they often travel around the surrounding cities and taste delicious food everywhere. They are also pure foodies and have eaten a lot of delicious food.

Speaking of Lejia snacks in Qisong County, it was a surprise that they found this snack bar.

That time, Zhao Pingchuan had to go back to his hometown because of something urgent, but when he arrived in Qisong County, the car broke down suddenly. While waiting for the trailer to come, he went to a snack bar by the roadside to sit and rest, and ordered a bowl of noodles and flat food by the way.

Who would have thought that the seemingly ordinary bowl of noodles and flat food seemed to be full of magic power when eaten, which calmed him down when he was extremely anxious because the car broke down.

That bowl of noodles and flat food was the most delicious noodles and flat food he had ever eaten in his life.

Afterwards, every time he returned to his hometown in Qisong County, he would go to this snack bar to order a bowl of noodles and flat food, and his younger brother Zhao Pingshan also became one of the regular customers of this snack bar.

But Qisong County is a poor place after all, and the location of this Lejia snack bar is also remote. No matter how good the taste is, it is not well-known. Every time the two brothers go to eat, there are basically no people in the shop, and there are also nearby villagers.

It is true that Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan rushed to Zeqiu County after reading Deep Sea Shark's food review about the noodle shop in Zeqiu County, but this was also the reason why they were somewhat unconvinced.

Hai Kuangsha's description in the food review said that only this snack bar in Zeqiu County can make delicacies that surpass the authentic Sha County snacks mixed with noodles, but in their opinion, the Lejia snack bar in Qisong County does The noodle flat food is the food that really surpasses the authentic Shaxian snacks.

Seeing that the two brothers are full of praise for the Lejia snacks in Qisong County, Gu Zheng's interest is getting bigger and bigger.

Regarding the cooking skills, Gu Zheng is not worried. He just wants to find out what ingredients the owner of the Lejia snack bar uses to make noodles that are even more delicious than the snack bar in Zeqiu County.

"By the way, since you often eat here, have you ever asked the owner of that shop what ingredients they use?" Sitting in the car, Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan shook their heads together. They used to go to eat often, but they never asked such questions.

Gu Zheng saw that they didn't know, so he didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, when he found the Lejia snack bar in Qisong County, he would know everything after tasting it.

That night, Gu Zheng fulfilled Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan's brothers' wish and lived in their house.

The two hoped to taste Gu Zheng's fried rice with eggs, and were willing to pay a high price, just asking Gu Zheng to satisfy their desire to eat food. Gu Zheng had stored some of the rice in the past few months, so he cooked them a real egg meal Fried rice golden dragon is in the sky, it can be regarded as thanks for the news they provided.

In the early morning of the next day, under the leadership of Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan, Gu Zheng finally rushed to Qisong County and found the Lejia snack shop they mentioned.

"Old Hu, here we come again, the old rules, noodles and flat food, three bowls!"

Zhao Pingchuan saw that he was a regular customer here, and he started yelling loudly before entering the store.

"okay!"

After a while, a dark-skinned young man came out of the store, looked a little shy, in his twenties at most, and put three bowls of noodles and flat food on the table in front of Zhao Pingchuan and Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng quickly took a sip first, followed by frowning, unable to move his chopsticks any more.

"Noodles, self-grown food, traditional stone-milled powder sticking process, inferior ingredients"

"Flat food, pork raised on self-grown grain, inferior ingredients."

After only one mouthful, Gu Zheng had already learned from Qi Ling the ingredient level of this bowl of noodles.

This small shop looks unattractive, and the grade of ingredients that can be selected is much higher than that of the snack bar in Zeqiu County.

Qi Ling also directly gave the origin of the ingredients this time. Unexpectedly, this is also a sub-species. Gu Zheng found that many second-class ingredients are self-grown, or there are people around them. Ordinary ingredients can be grown on a large scale, almost all on a small scale.

The eggs that Gu Zheng bought, the sesame oil, the rice cakes I ate, and the Komatsu noodle restaurant in Hangzhou are all like this, and this place is no exception.

Although this bowl of noodles is not the best alpine wheat or Iberian black pork, the taste of the ingredients is extraordinary, which surprised Gu Zheng, but it is just the taste of the ingredients.

The wheat they grow by themselves, the noodles and noodle skins made by traditional stone milling process, are very different from the noodles and noodle skins made by grinding the best alpine wheat, and in this pork, there is even a taste The fragrance of alpine wheat makes the taste of the flat food stuffing and noodles more unified.

If Gu Zheng's guess is correct, the pork used for stuffing is not only the domestic pig raised by the owner of the snack bar, but also the feed for the pig is only the wheat grown by himself, without any other ingredients Only things can make this pork stuffing ingredients reach such a level.

The ingredients of the noodles and flat food are of high grade, which meet the test requirements, but... the overall taste of this bowl of noodles and flat food is worse than that of the snack bar in Zeqiu County.

First of all, the ratio of peanut sauce and chili sauce is not quite right, causing the taste of the ingredients to overwhelm the aroma of the noodles. Secondly, the heat of the noodles is not well controlled when cooking, which leads to uneven heating of each noodle. Some noodles are overcooked while others are uncooked. Biting off the noodles seriously affects the taste.

The last thing is the flat food. If you pinch it with chopsticks, the dough will be pierced. This means that the flat food has been cooked for too long, which makes the dough a little rough.

Relying on the advantages of the ingredients, the taste of this bowl of noodles and flat food can be regarded as passable, but for people like Gu Zheng who strives for excellence, this bowl of noodles and flat food can at best be regarded as something to fill the stomach, not at all. As a delicacy.

This kind of taste is not even comparable to the noodle flat food made by the snack bar in Zeqiu County. It is too different from what Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan brothers boasted before.

If Brother Zhao Pingchuan was not lying to him before, then it can only be explained that the noodles they ate before and the noodles they ate today were not made by one person at all.

Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at Zhao Pingchuan and his brothers. The two of them are still eating, but their expressions are not right during the process of eating. They don't have the sense of enjoyment that their taste buds are satisfied, but they frown slightly.

It seems that even they tasted that this bowl of noodles and flat food was not the taste they had before. With a light sigh, Gu Zheng knew that he must have guessed right.

The level of ingredients is placed here, even ordinary chefs will not be so bad, so Gu Zheng guessed that there is something wrong with the few dishes they want. They are not the original chefs, and they are probably a novice, or they are not very good at cooking. made by people.

After all, this Lejia snack is a roadside snack bar in Qisong County. It is very simple. It is normal for the chef to change people. Let alone their place, it is Gu Zheng’s chicken blood soup shop. Gao Changhe really has something to do, and other people will too. Go ahead, Gao Changhe is not an iron man, he is there 365 days a year, and he also needs to rest.

"Master Gu Zheng, why don't you eat it?"

Zhao Pingshan took two more mouthfuls. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Gu Zheng put down his chopsticks after only one mouthful, so he couldn't help but also stopped.

"Did the noodle flat food you ate at this snack bar always taste like this?" Gu Zheng asked rhetorically.

"It seems to be a little different from before. It's not as delicious as when I came here." Zhao Pingshan nodded and put down his chopsticks involuntarily.

"This taste is different!"

Hearing this, Zhao Pingchuan next to him took another chopsticks of noodles, put them in his mouth and tasted them carefully, the more he ate, the more he felt something was wrong.

He used to praise the noodles and flat food of this snack bar to the sky, and it was because of this that Gu Zheng changed his mind and came to the city with them, but now the taste is not worthy of their previous praise .

"Master Gu Zheng, wait a moment, I'll go and ask about the situation."

Fearing that Gu Zheng would misunderstand him and think he was lying to him, Zhao Pingchuan hurriedly looked at the young man who served them noodles just now, and asked, "What's the matter with your father today, the noodles you made don't taste right. , go, help me call him out."

"I, my father is not here, in the store, only me and my mother are in the store."

The swarthy young man had a relaxed face before, but it could be seen that Gu Zheng and Zhao Pingchuan stopped eating at once, and suddenly became nervous and stuttered.

"Is your father not here? Then this side..."

"My mother did it."

Zhao Pingchuan was stunned for a moment, and only then did he find out the reason why the noodles tasted so bad, he quickly turned his head and explained to Gu Zheng: "Master Gu Zheng, this is not the noodles we ate when we came here. The owner of this snack bar made it himself, that is, the boy's father, and for some reason today, he is not in the store."

Gu Zheng had already guessed that this might be the reason, and shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

He came here to look for delicious food, and the ingredients here were already beyond his expectations. Since the real chef was not around, he could wait until the chef came back.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was not angry, Zhao Pingchuan heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked the young man, "Where did your father go, and when will you be back?"

"I don't know, my father didn't tell me." The young man shook his head, he didn't know either.

"Boss Zhao has come to patronize our business again."

At this time, a middle-aged woman came out of the snack bar wearing an apron, and said hello to Zhao Pingchuan.

Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan are regular customers of their family. Every time they come back, they come to eat a bowl of noodles and flat food. They are also relatively familiar with each other, but Gu Zheng has a lot of noodles, which she has never seen.

Zhao Pingchuan would occasionally bring a few friends to eat in their small shop, so the proprietress didn't pay too much attention to Gu Zheng. Seeing the noodles and flat food on the table in front of them didn't move much, she immediately understood what was going on. He smiled embarrassedly, and said with some apology: "I'm really sorry, our old man is not here today, and I'm not as delicious as our old man's cooking. Please ask the bosses to make do with it."

"If this is normal, we will just let it go, but today it's not just us brothers." Zhao Pingchuan smiled wryly, shaking his head and said: "We don't care, but the master who came with us today But he is a very great gourmet, he is here to taste your old man's handicrafts. Where has he gone, call him back quickly!"

"Yes, sister-in-law, my brother didn't lie to you. This is Master Gu Zheng. He just won the first place in the Hangzhou food competition some time ago!" Zhao Pingshan also yelled, and he was afraid that The proprietress neglected Gu Zheng, and said deliberately: "Aren't you always complaining that you don't make money from opening this small shop, but as long as the things you make can catch the eyes of this master Gu Zheng, just give you a compliment, and your business will improve." , even people from far away in Kyoto will come.”

"so smart!"

The proprietress was taken aback, she never expected that the Gu Zheng who had been neglected by her would be so powerful, and judging from the attitudes of Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan, this Gu Zheng seemed to be bigger than their background.

"It may be an exaggeration to say that the capital is an exaggeration, but there should be many people around the city, such as Shanghai, to taste it." Gu Zheng said casually. He is not only an excellent chef, but also a food critic. He wrote For food reviews, more people read them in Shanghai.

And after the Hangzhou food contest ended, all the food review articles of Gu Zheng have always had a high number of clicks on the Internet. There are netizens who love food everywhere. Maybe there are people like Brother Zhao Pingchuan. Articles about food reviews, I couldn’t help rushing over to have a taste.

"This is really great." The proprietress was a little overjoyed, and immediately said: "It's okay, if you are not in a hurry, just wait a while, someone came to buy our land today, and my old man went back to discuss the price with them. I will come back, and then I will ask him to make a few bowls for you."

"Land for sale? What land for sale?" Zhao Pingchuan was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.

"It's not our family's ten acres of land." Speaking of this, the proprietress also frowns and sighs.

"What do you do with the good land?" Zhao Pingshan also became curious. He still remembered that he had heard from the owner of this shop before that their family had more than ten acres of land, which is not too big, but it was passed down from generation to generation. It can be said that the rice and noodles that their family eats all rely on the harvest of that land.

"It's not because of our kid." The proprietress sighed, glanced at the young man standing beside her, and then said: "When he was studying in Shencheng, he fell in love with someone, and now it's time to talk." When it comes to marriage, but the girl is a child in the city, and she doesn't want to marry in such a poor and remote place like our Qisong County, so she made a condition that she must pay at least a down payment to buy a house in Shencheng. Marry. Our old couple summed it up. The house price in Shencheng is so expensive. Even if we just pay the down payment, we can’t get it out. There is really no way. My old man thought that if it didn’t work, he sold the land. This way the down payment is almost covered.”

"Mom, don't talk about it." The young man lowered his head when he heard this, obviously he didn't want to talk about it.

"That's all right, kid, don't worry about the burden. You are the only seedling in our family. You just need to get along with other girls and live a good life. Don't talk about selling land. If it's not enough, we'll buy this small shop too." " The proprietress looked at the young man with doting eyes, and even went over and patted his head, telling him not to be too burdened.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Seeing that this is the reason, Zhao Pingchuan didn't want to say anything more, chatted with the proprietress for a while, turned around to look at Gu Zheng, and asked: "Master Gu Zheng, the owner of this store The boss only comes back at night, why don't we come here again at night, anyway, Huancheng is close to here. How about taking advantage of this afternoon, our brother will take you to other places around the city?"

Knowing that someone has something to do, Gu Zheng has no choice but to come back at night.

But just when Gu Zheng and Zhao Pingchuan were about to leave, there was the sound of a tractor roaring from far away, and along with a puff of black smoke, an old-fashioned tractor stopped at the door of the small shop.

On the tractor, a dark middle-aged man with a wrinkled face jumped off in a hurry. He was about to enter the store when he saw Zhao Pingchuan and the others.

"Isn't this Boss Zhao, you came to my house to eat noodles again." He was stunned for a moment, then squeezed a smiley face, and then said: "I'm really sorry, I have something to do today, and I will make noodles for you personally some other day .”

After finishing speaking, he ran into the small shop without waiting for Zhao Pingchuan to reply.

"this person!"

Zhao Pingchuan was so dumbfounded that he turned his head and introduced to Guzheng: "This person is the owner of this Lejia snack bar. His surname is Hu. We all call him Old Man Hu. The noodles we ate before were all from him. Made it by hand."

"He is in such a hurry, what happened?" Guzheng nodded and looked into the shop curiously.

"I don't know either. I'll ask him when he comes out." Zhao Pingchuan was familiar with Old Man Hu, and planned to ask him later.

Not only them, even the proprietress was very surprised to see old man Hu come back: "You are back at this time? Are you sold out?"

"I don't have an ID card, how can I sign a contract to sell the land? If not, I'll hurry back to get my ID card." Old man Hu went into the small shop, and searched through boxes and boxes. It turned out that he came back specially to get his ID card.

"Tell me about you. You don't have your ID card for such a big deal as selling land. The ID card is placed behind the photo frame of our business license. I'll get it for you right away." The proprietress hurriedly helped him find out his identity. I didn't complain about him a few words.

"Hey, I've never sold land before." Waiting for his wife to get her ID card, Old Man Hu finally had time to catch his breath.

"Here you are." The proprietress found out the ID card, handed it to the old man Hu, and then asked casually: "How much can the ten acres of land be sold in the end, is it enough for our Xiaole to pay a down payment in Shanghai?"

"It's really strange to say that the group of people followed me to our field to see it today. They only bought the wheat grown in our field, and they didn't want anything else. The price was the same as buying the land."

"how so?"

The proprietress's eyes widened immediately, she couldn't believe that such a thing existed in this world.

Old man Hu couldn't figure out what those people were trying to do, but in an instant, he suddenly thought of Zhao Pingchuan whom he met outside the shop just now, slapped his thigh suddenly, and ran out of the shop with his ID card.

Gu Zheng was still talking to Zhao Pingchuan at the moment, when he saw old man Hu running out with sweat on his head, he opened his mouth and asked: "Boss Zhao, you are from a big city and have seen the world. Let me ask you Excuse me, have you ever seen someone buy crops grown in the field without paying anything?"

Brothers Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan had the same reactions as the proprietress, they were inconceivable when they first heard about it.

But Gu Zheng on the side couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Old man Hu, you don't know what kind of gold is planted in your field, do you?" Zhao Pingchuan teased old man Hu.

"My family's land has been planted with the same kind of wheat since my grandfather's generation. It has never changed. How can it be possible to grow gold. I am afraid of being fooled, so I thought of asking you."

Old man Hu shook his head repeatedly. In most of his life, this was the first time he had seen someone spend money on land and only buy the crops grown in the land. This matter was too weird, and he was also afraid of encountering a liar, so he came out to ask the Zhao Pingchuan brothers about it.

"We have never encountered such a thing. When you trade with them, pay attention to the money. Anyway, as long as the money is credited to your card in the end, they have nothing to lie to you."

Seeing that Old Man Hu still attached great importance to this matter, Zhao Pingchuan stopped teasing him and gave him a very pertinent suggestion.

"That's the truth, but I just feel a little uneasy. If you want to say that our land is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, I believe it, but the little crops grown in the field sell for hundreds of thousands. What do I think? I don't feel stable." Old man Hu is an honest man, and this kind of pie in the sky didn't make him very happy.

If he didn't figure out the reason, he couldn't be at ease.

"It's true, by the way, Master Gu Zheng, what do you think?" Zhao Pingchuan couldn't figure out the key point, so he had to look at Gu Zheng, and he didn't have any good opinions after listening to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Perhaps, what Old Man Hu's family grows is really gold."

"Master Gu Zheng, stop making fun of me."

Zhao Pingchuan thought that Gu Zheng was making fun of himself, so he gave a wry smile.

"I'm not joking. If it's more than ten acres of alpine wheat, let alone the price of more than ten acres of land, even if it's ten times higher, it's totally justified."

Gu Zheng shook his head, he wasn't kidding anymore.

In fact, at the very beginning, when Gu Zheng heard that the family wanted to buy land, he didn't think much about it, but when Old Man Hu told the situation of the person who bought the land, he realized that the crops grown in Old Man Hu's land were absolutely worthless. unusual crops.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that the reason why the noodles and flat food in the Lejia snack bar opened by Hu Laotou is so delicious, in addition to superb cooking skills, the most important thing is the ingredients. And Qi Ling has also identified it before. The ingredients of their family are all noodles and flat food grown and milled by themselves. Needless to say, the ingredients used to process and support the noodles are the wheat grown in his family's field.

The grinding and processing tools at Old Man Hu's house are definitely not too fine, but even in this way, they can be made into noodles and dough that reach the level of inferior ingredients. It is conceivable that the crops grown in his field are by no means ordinary.

If it is really a very rare crop, the price will definitely not be cheap. Maybe it is still a profit for that person to buy these with only the money to buy the land.

"I can't guess anything just by guessing here. Why don't we go to the old man Hu's field and look around, maybe we can understand why those people only buy crops and not land."

Thinking of this, Gu Zheng offered a suggestion.

Zhao Pingshan and Zhao Pingchuan were curious themselves, and they proposed to go and see Gu Zheng, but of course they didn't have any opinions.

"Who is this?"

Old man Hu knew Zhao Pingchuan and his brothers, but he didn't know Gu Zheng. The Zhao Pingchuan brothers are well-known big bosses around the city, and it must not be easy for them to treat people with such respect. Therefore, old man Hu was also very polite to Gu Zheng, and asked cautiously, "Who is this?"

"This is Master Gu Zheng, who is also the first winner of the Hangzhou Food Competition. This is not because we recommended you to make noodles and flat food, so he made a special trip to taste it. Master Gu Zheng knows a lot more than us, Maybe he knows why the people who bought your land wanted the crops and not the land."

Zhao Pingchuan forgot that old man Hu didn't know Gu Zheng yet, so he quickly introduced Gu Zheng's identity.

"It turned out to be Master Gu Zheng."

When old man Hu heard this, an envious look immediately appeared on his face. Although he is just a snack bar owner, when he was working outside when he was young, he also dreamed of participating in a food competition. Unfortunately, his talent is limited. coped.

Knowing Gu Zheng's identity, old man Hu felt relieved. In his opinion, as a top professional chef, Gu Zheng must be well-informed. Take him with him. Maybe he can really know who only buys crops but not land. reason.

In his eyes, the person who can win the first place in the Hangzhou food competition is already a top professional level, and he is the one he looks up to.

"Then let's take my tractor together. The field is not easy to walk, but the tractor is faster."

Let the Zhao Pingchuan brothers and Gu Zheng get on his tractor, and old man Hu didn't waste any more time, and drove towards his family's ten-acre field.

Old man Hu's land is on the edge of Qisong County, close to Qisong Mountain. If you walk north along his small shop for less than two or three miles, you can see more than ten acres of land.

The land of their family is actually easy to identify, because the edge of this land is an inland river, and the river course of the inland river just forms a "U"-shaped bend, and within the bend is his family's ten acres of land.

When they arrived, there were more than a dozen people surrounded by the long line on the edge of the field. Most of these people were wearing gray robes, and they were pointing at the crops in the field, with excited expressions on their faces.

And behind this group of people, there was only a middle-aged man in a black suit, probably in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very energetic.

He didn't care much about the crops in the field. Instead, he kept staring at the side of the road. It was only when he saw Old Man Hu's tractor that he smiled a little more on his face.

The rumbling sound of the tractor rang all the way, and the old man Hu drove almost in front of them before stopping.

After getting out of the car, Old Man Hu didn't pay attention to those people in gray robes. After getting off the tractor, he hurried to the man in the suit, rubbed his hands habitually, and said hello in embarrassment: "It's really Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

The man in the suit waved his hand, not paying attention to these trivial matters, but his eyes stayed on Gu Zheng.

When Gu Zheng got out of the car, no one paid any attention to him. He walked to the field ridge by himself, squatted down and looked at the wheat planted in the field.

The breeze blows, blowing the ears of wheat rustling, and a faint fragrance of rice blows to the face with the breeze.

"Qi Ling, what kind of wheat is this?"

Gu Zheng couldn't tell what kind of wheat it was, so he simply handed over the identification work to Qi Ling.

Soon, Qi Ling's voice sounded in his heart.

"Ancient Champa wheat, a crop comparable to alpine wheat, is now extinct."

"Are you lying to me? I know about Champa wheat, where it is extinct." Of course, Gu Zheng knew about Champa wheat. This kind of wheat is also called Zhenla wheat. The name of the city. The biggest feature of this kind of wheat is high yield, early maturity, drought resistance, strong adaptability and short production cycle. Since it was introduced into our country in the Song Dynasty, it was quickly promoted in many areas.

Champa is a very special place. Although it is located in the subtropical zone, both rice and wheat can be grown, and they are both good. Champa rice is also a famous variety.

"I'm talking about the ancient Champa wheat, not the Champa wheat you know now. The current Champa wheat is a new type of rice grown by hybridization, and it can no longer be called Champa wheat. gone."

Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't believe his own words, Qi Ling carefully explained to him the difference between the current Champa Mai and the ancient Champa Mai.

After long-term development, people have continuously improved and replanted the current Champa wheat, so that it can better exert its advantages such as high yield, early maturity, drought resistance, strong adaptability, and short production cycle. But at the same time, such improvement also makes Champa barley no different from ordinary wheat varieties.

The real ancient Champa wheat not only has the soft and waxy characteristics of Jiangbei wheat, but also has the firm and sweet characteristics of Northeast wheat. The color of the flour after grinding is yellowish. This is precisely because it contains a large amount of vitamin B and other nutrients. Comparable to alpine wheat.

As for whether alpine wheat, known as the gold in rice, is more suitable as a gourmet ingredient, or ancient Champa wheat is more suitable, there is no conclusion yet.

Because the ancient Champa wheat has disappeared, only alpine wheat is still planted in a small amount.

After hearing Qi Ling's explanation, Gu Zheng was stunned for a few seconds, and then he became shocked.

It turns out that there is such a big difference, no wonder, some people will pay the price of the land to buy the rice seeds in this area.

These ten acres of ancient Zhancheng wheat, as long as they are transplanted properly, can be inexhaustible like the immortal rice in the ancient space.

This business, to be precise, was a big profit for that person.

Finally understanding the reason, Gu Zheng raised his head involuntarily, and looked at the man in the suit who was facing Old Hu.

Coincidentally, the man in the suit was also looking at Gu Zheng, and the two looked at each other, and Gu Zheng nodded to him in a friendly manner.

In his heart, Gu Zheng still admires the opponent. The reason why he could see that the wheat seedlings planted in the old man Hu's field were ancient Zhancheng wheat was also due to the identification ability of Qi Ling, but the other party obviously discovered it by accident, and bought the wheat seedlings in this field without saying a word. All ancient Champa wheat.

However, Gu Zheng's friendly gesture didn't make the man in the suit relax his vigilance, and he looked at Gu Zheng with guarded eyes.

"Master Gu Zheng, have you found out why those people only bought the crops in this field and not the land?"

Zhao Pingchuan looked at it for a long time and didn't find any difference between the wheat in this field and ordinary wheat. He just saw that Gu Zheng seemed to have an eye, so he asked curiously.

"Well, I probably know why they did this." Gu Zheng also looked back at Old Man Hu and the man in the suit, and nodded.

"Really, Master Gu Zheng, you can see it!"

Before Zhao Pingchuan could speak, Zhao Pingshan, who imitated Gu Zheng and squatted on the field ridge to carefully observe the wheat seedlings in the field, exclaimed first, stood up suddenly and looked at Gu Zheng and said, "What is so magical about this wheat? Worth the value of this land?"

"I don't know if you have heard of ancient Zhancheng Mai?"

Gu Zheng smiled and asked a question.

The Zhao Pingchuan brothers shook their heads. If they could find a car to tell them what brand it was and what price it was, they would be familiar with the road, but it would be difficult for them to ask them about the crops in the field.

Seeing them shaking their heads, Gu Zheng repeated Qi Ling's identification of Gu Zhancheng wheat just now.

"No way, even the Champa wheat handed down from ancient times wouldn't sell so expensively? Qisong County is not a developed county, and even the land in the county is not worth much, and the price per mu is only 30,000 to 40,000. , it means that this acre of Champa wheat is worth 30,000 to 40,000 yuan?"

"This is not a wheat seedling, it is clearly gold!"

Even if you plant some cash crops, the price per acre of land is not so high, unless you are ruthless about the garlic during the hype period, but that is not so expensive, so the Zhao Pingchuan brothers immediately cried out after hearing this, and both of them were a little afraid. believe.

"Otherwise, do you think that in a really good restaurant such as a Michelin three-star restaurant, why is the price of a dish so expensive? The main cost is in invisible places, such as the choice of ingredients." Gu Zheng sighed lightly. With a sigh, he shrugged his shoulders.

Even if they don't believe it anymore, this is the truth.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the more delicious ingredients are, the more difficult it is to obtain them, and the price will continue to rise. As the saying goes, rare things are more expensive. Alpine wheat was also very cheap in the earliest days, only a little more expensive than ordinary rice seeds. However, because of the difficulty of growing alpine wheat and the harsh climate conditions of the growing environment, the output has decreased year by year, and the price has been gradually increased, and finally won the title of gold in rice.

Take the more than ten acres of ancient Champa wheat as an example. If there are only these ten acres of ancient Champa wheat in the world, once its value is discovered, the price will be copied immediately. At that time, not to mention the price of one mu of land, even ten mu of land might not be able to exchange for one mu of ancient Champa wheat seeds.

However, ancient Champa wheat is not as delicate as alpine wheat after all. It is destined to be easy to promote because of its high yield, drought tolerance and strong adaptability.

As long as you are willing to spend manpower and financial resources and have a suitable place, after a period of time, these ten acres of ancient Zhancheng wheat may become one hundred acres, or even thousands of acres, but it will be difficult if there are more, and the inferior ingredients are not It is so easy to take care of, no matter how many there are, it is very likely that it will not be able to manage, and too many wheats are planted together, under the influence of various factors, it may reduce the quality of the ingredients.

"That's true..."

Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan looked at each other, and quickly figured out the reason, and then put away the unbelievable expressions before. Zhao Pingshan also glanced enviously at Old Man Hu, a trace of jealousy rose in his heart, and muttered: "Hey, Old Man Hu is really lucky, he has been guarding their land, and finally guarded the treasure. "

"It can't be said that, in the hands of old man Hu, this ancient Zhancheng wheat is just ordinary wheat, not worth a few dollars. But in the eyes of people like Master Gu Zheng who know what to buy, it is worth ten thousand gold. "

Zhao Pingchuan and his younger brother think differently. Although he is quite envious of old man Hu's luck, he is not jealous.

"Brother Zhao is right. A good thing like this can only be of maximum value if it is placed in the hands of someone who understands it." Gu Zheng smiled and said to Zhao Pingshan: "Actually, for ordinary people, wheat is the biggest thing. The role is still to serve as food, that is, we all have a better life now and have a higher pursuit of food, which will make these ingredients more expensive."

Gu Zheng was talking with Brother Zhao Pingchuan here, and there seemed to be something wrong with Old Man Hu discussing the land sale with the man in the suit.

Old man Hu, who was waiting to sign the sales contract with a smile on his face just now, is hesitating now, with a hesitant look on his face, unable to make up his mind, and he doesn't know what he is embarrassing.
